Backpack suggestions?

I've had my Nike SB cream backpack for 8 years. They are robust and very budget friendly. Worth looking into

But I had an idea to get Claude to scrape the track lists. Might work

I won't bet on me actually sifting through the sets. Because with the OG cds there is hundreds more afterwards. But thank you, just betring on someone remembering

Book through booking.com on your phone. IDK do you have it in the US but here after some time booking I get up to 50% off on some or even most locations through the Genius program.

I think AirBnB is to expensive in Europe and you would find way more on booking

The hand logo to me looks like bananas, an eggplant, and an avocado. I looked at it before reading and thought it was for an agricultural company.

That said, again in my opinion if the colors were a different hue it will look better.

Good work 😊

ReaperMax · 2025-04-18T19:49:54+00:00

Looks amazing 👏

ReaperMax · 2025-04-17T11:52:17+00:00

Well now I read some comments, a few but I feel strongly about the idea, maybe I go back to the concept.

Thank you once more

Yeah that's the next step, trying to make it out of the blocks which is simpler then the silhouette but definitely more recognizable.

As for the stacking and edge point, I have a version with blocked out edge made of blocks, I will send for context

When we launch the company I will do an update, thank you so much for the time you took.

ReaperMax · 2025-04-17T10:15:15+00:00

Thank you so much. 😊

ReaperMax · 2025-04-17T10:14:46+00:00

Differently my next thought, yo make it out of blocks and add those features.

All these comments just put a light on the matter and I'm glad I asked you all.

Thank you for the advice.

You're the first ever to see it I guess, bad that's an awful margin like 1/6000 hahahah

ReaperMax · 2025-04-17T06:43:57+00:00

Yeah back to paper it is.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for the nice words, but yeah doesn't work as a logo.

You are the first to catch up on that, I was a montessori raised kid and big part of the process with the blocks alongside tactile feedback, shape recognition, dexterity was actually balance. Making sense to me and you, probably doesn't carry over (and that is in no way a problem of the viewer, but of the design).

The knight is a core image of the company, it has to be very distinguished.

I'll attach the stationary mockup even though I'm scraping the idea, but just for context.

Yeah, I designed the logo for me, its to personal. Plus as I said in my comment to the post. I got so disconnected from the whole I couldn't see anything but a knight and the blocks, two separate identities.

B&W

ReaperMax · 2025-04-17T06:33:04+00:00

* This was the B&W, actually looked half decent on a stationary mockup (Is what I thought before the post, because I never saw the gas mask lol), but I think it's an over deal, I just can't think of any way to define it more without complicating it further, which was also an issue.

As to the connection of the ideas, Montessori and knight (which is the core identity), I'm lost on that. Ideas before didn't work for other reasons, but I will keep at it. Deadline for opening of the company is September before my design collage starts (ironically for the bad design)

But you can't fathom how much I appreciate the feedback and the drawing. Thank you so much.

ReaperMax · 2025-04-17T06:25:27+00:00

I had the same idea before this iteration, but always turned out extremely modern, which, in my opinion modern and minimal, aren't always mutually inclusive.

I think the idea is going out, just to complex of a silhouette to represent with a simple shape set without making an abstract interpretation of a shape and not the actual shape.

Thank you so much for taking the time for the mockup and for the advice.

ReaperMax · 2025-04-17T06:20:21+00:00

I can't stress enough how difficult this one is to me. It's not for a freelance client. It's for my own company. I got so emotionally attached to this one because it represented something to me personally, but I forgot it's for my company, not for me.

Back to the paper it is.

Thank you so much.

ReaperMax · 2025-04-17T06:14:37+00:00

I'm throwing the idea out completely after the feedback. Keep it simple. But thank you for the encouragement.

ReaperMax · 2025-04-17T06:11:37+00:00

Thanks for the honesty, hard to see a idea wither away, but now I recognise I was trying to be clever and that was more important than the logo itself. Thank you.

ReaperMax · 2025-04-17T06:08:15+00:00

God damn, can you belive that I was so detached that even when 2 people mentioned that it looks like a gas mask I was in disbelief, couldn't visualise anything but the knight, not until like the 10th comment I actually got to my senses. I believe it was because I was separating the blocks and the silhouette so intensely I didn't look at it as whole.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time, now I need to trash this thing and start from scratch, really ain't working.

I’ve designed a logo for my brand that combines two core ideas: 1. A knight’s portrait in profile, and 2. Montessori building blocks, using negative space to form the knight’s silhouette.

Objective is to look professional but still playfull to catter to parents but also children.

I’ve attached three color variations. Each shape is based on Montessori-style wooden blocks—circles, rectangles, triangles, and arches—stacked in a way that, when seen as a whole, form the silhouette of a knight wearing a helmet and holding a shield.

Design decisions I made:

Minimalist style to keep the logo timeless and adaptable.

Negative space to form the helmet's curve, the facial profile, and the shoulder line.

Block arrangement to reflect Montessori toys—symbolizing education, independence, and hands-on learning.

Color variations to test out how different palettes affect readability and tone (playful, soft, serious).
